Antique French Split Wood Gathering Basket | Large Rustic Country Market Basket | Primitive Farmhouse Decor

A wonderful antique French gathering basket with lovely rustic character and a beautifully aged patina.

Handmade from split wood with a sturdy central handle, this traditional basket has a warm honey-brown colour developed through many years of use. Its long oval shape and simple slatted construction give it a timeless country feel.

Originally used for gathering fruit, vegetables, flowers, or garden produce, it now makes a beautiful decorative piece for a farmhouse, cottage, or French country interior. It would look equally charming filled with dried flowers, folded linens, magazines, or seasonal displays.

The hand-crafted construction, wooden pegs, and signs of age all add to its authentic charm and character. Large examples like this are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

It measures approximately 19.25 inches long by 10 inches wide by 10 inches high (49 x 25.5 x 25.5 cm) and weighs 1 lb 10 oz (737 grams).

Condition is good antique condition with age-related wear, old marks, small losses, historic repairs, and natural variations to the wood consistent with age and use. These imperfections are part of the basket's history and add to its genuine rustic appeal.
